I'm sorry but, Texas canned the man. They have no legal right to execute a "No-Compete Clause" which is what has been referred too. 

 

I'm calling BS now and will sit quietly on the side lines.

If the amount of money Texas has to pay is dependent on Strong's future employment, they've got skin in this game, and I'd imagine there's some kind of language preventing him from signing a contract that's backloaded like we're suggesting.

The only reason that I didn't want into the Big12 was because I didn't want to have to deal with UT.

Now this....

How long do these things usually take? Should we be expecting to know within the hour.....

Depends whether or not Charlie wants to see the dessert menu.

If that's the case then USF is just going to have to pay him market value for every year of the deal.  However, I would love to pay him $1 per year for the next two years.

You can bet UT's lawyers are trying to prevent a backloaded deal.

To an extent yes, but, he can also sit at home doing nothing and they have to pay him. Even under a back-loaded contract, they get out of some of that liability. Again, he could just say... you know what... I will take 2 years off and Texas has to pay him every dime. Anyone hiring Strong is a favor to them.

Was thinking about this too. Texas made the big 12 into the mess that it is, and they drag us through this pony circus with expansion presentations, now they are interfering with our coaching hire? I seriously hate UT.

Temple would offer him $2/year

So this is when we get to find the strength of Harlan and his negotiating power.

Not sure, but I'd be curious what the actual language is and what kind of legal interpretations are possible
